Hi,
Here are some photos from the QS meet last Sunday. To try and keep it fresh, I've restricted the photos to the interesting cars that I haven't seen for a while, if at all. I hope you enjoy looking through them.
In time-honoured tradition, the Fords are first up, and where better to start than Rob's stunning car.

The last time this 1.6GL was at QS, I didn't take much notice of it.

This time, however, the bonnet was open. I'm not an expert by any means, but this doesn't look like a pinto to me.....

I've broke my own rule here, as I posted a photo of this last month. I think it's worth seeing it again, even if it's just for the shirt the bloke in the background is wearing!

Hi Andrew, great pictures, it's amazing the turn over of cars at this meet, there's some in your pictures I didn't see on the day. Come to think of it, we didn't manage to see the photographer of these fine pictures either .
Pity about the grey Capri but thanks very much for including it .
Cheers,
Rob

As you say, it's a pity we didn't catch up with each other. I was waiting around for you for ages, that must have been some breakfast you had!

Yes, it's worth going along if you're in the area. It's held on the second Sunday of every month.
There are usually a few Capris there, and sometimes some forum members also go.
